the-;t-,n1o;;parallelside platesE, E of the de vicemnd' the papencarrier consists of two disks 6, b which are rigidly connected with each other by means of transverse rods B, 13, located near the margins of the disks.- Said disks Z), I) are provided with rigidly attached, outwardly extending pivot studs Z2 6 which extend thron h and have bear- 7 N ing in the said slde plates hi, hi. 'lhe said paper-carrier is given oscillatory movement thioughthe medium of a crank-handle m secured to thepivot stud b outside of the casing M of the device. The roll of paper,

I, is applied to a spool on paper-holder which is rotatii'cly held be tween the disks 3),.2) or the paper-carrier indicated by e, recs.

and consists of a central tube 0 and two' disksC' 'C Said, spool is supported in the paper-carrier by means of a removable spindle 0 which passes through the said disksand the central tube of said spool.

The types for printing the tickets are supported in the carrier between the two side plates. a, not said carrier insuch nian ner that the printing surfaccs'of the ty'pes, when in operative position, are at equal die tances from the pivotal axis of the'pap'ier carrier-B. "On said paper-carrier, between the marginal parts of the disks 6, byare mounted the impression roller la and the inking roller a In the oscillatory movement of said paper-carrier said inking-roller isic'arried over the type, for supplying ink thereto, and the impression roller is carried over the type to press the strip of paper again st.tl1e said type; Ashicld a of curved or cylindric form, is attached at its endsto the disks Z), 6 and covers the inner-part ct the ,inkingrollcr. The spindle a of said im'pression roller extends through radial slots a ,-a*,'forn1ed in the marginalparts of the disks 1), b, and the outer ends thereof are engaged by cam grooves a a formed in the'swingin'g ends of the arms I), b which are located at the outer faces of'said disks and are engaged with the pivot studs 6 b so that said arms are adapted to swing or oscillate on the paper-carrier about an axis concentric with the disks 6, b. "As shown,- "said arms have the form of flat, sector shaped plates, Two fixed stops 6 ,17 are secured to the frame plates E, E in position for contact therewith of the opposite edges of the arms. b .6 when the paper-carrier approaches-the endof its swing in each direction when it is turned or oscillated, so that said arms 6 b will'be swung or. moved crelatively to the paper-carrier at each turning movement of the latter; the cam ooves a, a of sa d arm serving to move or shift the impression roller either toward or away from the ty e in the manner hereinafter described. T e disks 6, b are provided with radial stop-shoulders B B arranged at a distance apart, circumferentiall'y of the disks, less than the distance between the opposite edges of the arms 5 b said" shoulders being adapted for contact with the stops b so as to limit the. swinging movements or' oscillations of the paper-carrier in both directions Each of-the disks 6, b has a'ttachedto its outer facea flat 'spring 6 provided with a lag or projection e adapted for engagement with either one or two notches 6 6 formed in the pivoted ends of the arms 6 b which are concentric with. the pivotal axis of'the disks 6, b. Engagement of the lug 6 with one or the other of the said notches e 6 servesto hold thearms 6 b. yieldingly from swinging movement relatively to the disks 5, b, so that'said arms move with said d1sks 1n the swinging or oscillatory ,movement of the latter until the movement of the arinsis arrested by contact of the same jac'ent to a 'slot or opening m which is formed in the side wall of the caSingM, for the: passage of the printed strip ofpaper from the casing. The strip of paper passes Withone pair of the stops b b Two feed rollers 0 c are mounted betweenthe side plates E, E, above the upper end of the segmental type-carrier A and adfrom the roll of paper G between the im- 1 pression and inking .rollers to the feed wvice'D (Fig. 5).

passing from said feed rollers 0 c the strip passes through a cutting or perforating de- Said cutting device em braces a cross-bar (1, attached to the extremities of two arms (Z (Z which are piv- "otally mounted at the opposite side of the machine frame. Said cross-bar carries a cutter (Z adapted to act downwardly against a block cZ which is supported between the side plates E, E, as shown in Fig. 3. Said cutter (Z is pressed by a spring (Z which acts on the arms 15 (F, toward the said block 03*. against the action of the spring (1 by means of two operating levers (Z,'cZ mounted one on each of the sideplates E, E. The upper ends of said levers d, d bear againstthe said arms (Z (Z and their lower ends are located in'position to be acted upon by stop pins 6W"; 0W, (Z (Z secured on the-outer Said arms (Z (Z are swung upwardly faces of the disks (3, b, in the swinging on oscillatory movements of the paper-carrierv The sto 3 ins (Z d are arranged in )osition to strike the lower ends of the levers d,- (Z? at the end of the advance or printlng stroke of the carrier, when the same is turned in the direction indicated by the arrowin Fig.

3, and to thereby swing said levers in a direction to lift the said arms. which are held elevated by the upper ends of said levers. The stop pins (2 (Z""" are arranged to act in a reverse direction on the lower or return stroke of the paper-carrier. with the effect of swinging the upper ends ofsaid levers in a direction to release the said arms (P, (l and permit the cutter (Z to act-upon the paper.

The lowermost feed roller 0 is mounted,

at=-i-ts ends in plates (Z cl (Figs. 3. and 20) which are pivotally supported in the side plates E'," E and upon which the block (1* is eccentrically mounted, said block (Z being attached at its ends to the inner faces of the said plates (Z (Z outside of the central axis thereof. The lower feed roller 0 is eccentrically mounted in the plates Z cZ so that with the turning of said plates said feed roller 0 may be shifted away from theupper feed roller to permit the free withdrawal of the paper. Said plates d, d are shown as being provided with annular external bearing shoulders which enthe bearing spindle of said roller 0 being engaged withbearing apertures formedv in said plates-d al inside of said-annu-.. lar bearing shoulders, as clearly seen n Figs. 3 and 20. For actuating the} sa1d feed rollers 0 and 0 the lower feed roller 0 is providedat one end outside'of the'frame gage circular apertures in the plates E,-E;'

plate'E (Fig.4) with a toothed wheelc adapted to mesh with a toothed 'wheel '0 attached to the adjacent en'd ofthe'upperfeed roller 0. Said :feed roller 0 is driven or rotated through the medium of toothed mitted wheels 0, c and 0 mounted on the side plate E. The toothed .wheel 0 is in mesh fixed spindle c and the wheel 0 is provided 'with a spring pressed pawl which engages ratchet teeth formed on the hub of and rate iet teeth. said .feed rollers are perto remain stationary during the printing operatit'm. when the paper-earrinand quadrant 1 are moving in the direction indicated' by t'he arrow in Fig. l; the wheel at this time rotating freely to render the gearing y-i-noperative. During the reverse rotationof the paper-carrierand said quadrant flfif t'he pmvlc engages said ratchet teeth androtates the feed rollers through the action of the gear wheels a and c. The quadrant 1" has attached to it a sector 7' having marginal teeth or notches which are engaged bv a spring controlled detent 7" which is pivoted on the frame plate E and is arranged to permit the said sector j' to s\'ving or move ast the same in both directions, but is adapted to restrain said sector from backward movement if any attempt be made to swing the.paper-ca1.rier backwardly at any point intermediate between the ...extremities of its normal range of movement, required for e ti'ecting the operation of the printing device.

The number of tickets sold is recorded by means of counters G, G (Fig. 6) operated by aslide 9 whichis reciprocated by an arm 9* mounted upon the spindle Z) of the papercarrier. 011 the slide g is mounted a second slide 9 which is capable of adjustment in relation to the counters G in such manner that either one of several projections 9 on the slide will be brought into position to operate upon oneot'. the counters G which record""independently thenumber of different priced tickets sold; the counter G for recording the total number of tickets being "rmanent connection with the slide 9.

The" adjustment of the slide 9 is etlected 'by a cam-H secured to a shaft L which rototes with the roller 'h, (Fig. 9) whereoi i the type for-printing the price of the. fare is earned.- Connection between the slide and thocam H is effected by a pi'votally.

mounted arm 7L furnished with-pins k li the" pin 7L engaging" with aslot f in the slide 9 while the pin h engages a groove 71. in the cam TL- Iach of the counters G which I prefer to employ, comprises. three disks, one forunits. one for tens and one for hundreds. These disks are operated byile- 'vers g severally. acted upon by one of the protections g on theslide g.

The types for printing the names of the stations. and the fares according to'the preferred construction illustrated in the princi- By the action ofsaid pawltail in Figs. 7. Sand 9,'are supportedand operated as follows: The rollers. It, 72. having the station-printing type, and the rollers it having the fare-printing typeare loosely mounted on the hollow shaftL, which is adapted to be rotated in the side plates (1, a of the typecarrier A and which extends at one end through the. casing M of the machine. M eans are provided for severally holding the said type-wheels h, It 11 yieldingly from otation, consisting, as shown, of spring arms 1'1 one for each of the said t \'pc wheels. the ends of which engage the said type u heels in a familiar manner. The station and the 'l'are- 'ninting wheels are grooves It with which a feather formed on a spindle 0. which slides in the hollow -loosel v mounted two indicator wheels J,J'

which are lettered or numbered to correspond with the statio11- )1'iiiti11g wheels and are provided with grooves j, j 'corres mnding with those in the wheels It, h, It. Said wheels J, J are adapted to be operatedby a second'feather I on the spindle Z, adapted to engage said grooves j. j. ()n the outer extremity of the shaft L is secured a wheel K. which serves as a handle for turning the shaft, and also asafare-indi'cator. for which purpose its periphery is marked to correspond with the fare-printing wheel. Spring each formed with interior. longitudinal" actuated detents j, j are provided for sevcrally holding the said indicator wheels from rotation except.- when locked to and turned by said shaft. The spindle l is furnished with atlnrd feather I which, by engaging notches 1" formed in one of the side.plates 1/ or knob by which it may be shifted endwise in the hollow shaft T; for the purpt'ise of.

turning either of the type-wheels as desired.

Other forms of devices for supporting the type wheels used for printing the names of the stations and the fares are shown' in Figs. 10 and 11. In the construction shown in Fig 10. two parallel rollers T.'I are mounted the said rollers; and provided with. gear wheels '1 i which mesh with the toothed ivlie'e'ls-"i 1' on two alined spindles i 5*. iv means of the sliding spindle '1' thctwo.

The date-printing device, as shown in Figs.- 3, 7 and 8, comprises a printing roller N'f or the months, and printing rollers 71,42? for the days of the month, all mounted on aspindle a supported in the side plates a, a of the carrierA. For the more convenient adjustment of the date printing rollers, the same may be arranged as shown in 'Figs. 16 and 17. In this instance, the rollers N, n* are secured to sleeves a, n, while the roller n is secured to the spindle M. The sleeve n turns bn the spin- (lien and the sleeve n surrounds the sleeve n while the ends of both of said sleeves extend through the plate a at one side of the type carrier. On the outer extremities of the sleeves and of .the spindle are mounted disks n", a, a, marked to indicate the months and days of the month; an arrow or other mark being made on the side of the type-carrier to operate in connection with the marks on said disks for indicating the printing position of the rollers.

The device for printing the consecutive numbers on the tickets comprises a spindle 0, Figs. '7 and S, on which are loosely mounted a plurality of type disks 0. The spindle extends through the side plates a, a of the type-carrier and one end of said splndle projects at one' side of the type-carrier and.

has secured to its extremity a spring actuated arm 0, Fig. 4-, which is operated by an arm 0 mounted 'on the segment F. Said armo is pivotally connected with the segment. F and is held by a spring, against a stop on said segment. so that the said arz will .yieldbackwardly and pass over the arm o in the movement of the segment F in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 4. but

will actuate said arm o to turn the spindle O in the movementof said segment in the 1 v D I I C producing a sutucient degree of frictional opposite direction. Secured to the swindle O are two levers r side of the type disks, and hetwcgau t'iwse levers is mounted awinging'; plate provided with .pawls o" warmed to eug- 1 notches provided in the type disks 0. Fig.7. one on either type disk is provided withteiifnotches, and the tenth notch in the units andtens disks, respectively, is made deeper than the other,
